Directives of the Front Commanders of the Red Army
Volume 4
This is the list of tables giving unit strengths of the Red Army through-out the Civil War. I have put into English only those I think the most likely to interest gamers. If you want a particular table done, then it should be no problem.
I can send copies of the original Russian pages as images on request, but they are too large to put them all up on-line.
Note that I can't actually read Russian. Do not rely on my translations for anything important!
